The sodium-potassium (Na+/K+) pump functions like an anti-porter transporting Na+ and K+ across membranes using ATP. This protein spans the membrane with intracellular and extracellular domains. It has a binding site for Na+, K+, and ATP. An experiment was conducted to determine the locations of these binding sites. Artificial cells were created and incubated in buffers containing ATP, ouabain (or oubain), Na+, and K+ in varying combinations inside and outside of the cell as indicated in the chart. The transport of Na+ and K+ was measured to determine activity of the Na+/K+ pump. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the data?
Ouabain does not disrupt ATP binding to the Na+/K+ pump.
ATP is required for transport of Na+ and not for transport of K+.
The ATP binding site of the Na+/K+ pump is located on the intracellular domain of the pump.
The ATP binding site of the Na+/K+ pump is located on the extracellular domain of the pump.
Paramecia are unicellular protists that have contractile vacuoles to remove excess intracellular water. In an experimental investigation, Paramecia were placed in salt solutions of increasing osmolarity. The rate at which a Paramecium's contractile vacuole contracted to pump out excess water was determined and plotted against osmolarity of the solutions, as shown in the graph. Which of the following is the correct explanation for the data?
At higher osmolarity, lower rates of contraction are required because more salt diffuses into the Paramecium.
In an isosmotic salt solution, there is no diffusion of water into or out of the Paramecium, so the contraction rate is zero.
The contraction rate increases as the osmolarity decreases because the amount of water entering the Paramecium by osmosis increases.
The contractile vacuole is less efficient in solutions of high osmolarity because of the reduced amount of ATP produced from cellular respiration.
An experiment was set up to determine the movement of molecules through a dialysis-tubing bag into water. A dialysis-tubing bag containing 5% lactose and 5% fructose was placed in a beaker of distilled water, as illustrated. After four hours, fructose is detected in the distilled water outside of the dialysis-tubing bag, but lactose is not. What conclusions can be made about the movement of molecules in this experiment?
Fructose, being a monosaccharide, diffused through the dialysis bag into the distilled water. However, lactose, being a disaccharide, could not diffuse through the dialysis bag.
Fructose was homogenized by lactose, allowing the fructose to diffuse through the dialysis bag and into the distilled water. Lactose is not homogenized, so it could not pass through the dialysis bag.
Fructose and lactose are oppositely charged and separated out due to the force of repulsion.
Fructose diffused because of the pore specificity of the semipermeable membrane, not because of its concentration gradient.

The fluid mosaic model described the plasma membrane, seen here, as a mosaic of components. Why is it advantageous for the plasma membrane to be fluid in nature?
Fluidity allows greater flexibility to the cell and motion of membrane components required for transport.
Fluidity helps only in transport of some materials, and does not contribute to the flexibility.
Fluidity helps in maintaining the pH of intracellular fluid, and helps in maintaining the physiological pH of the cell.
Fluidity helps in providing mechanical strength to the plasma membrane.
Which explanation identifies how the following affect the rate of diffusion: molecular size, temperature, solution density, and the distance that must be traveled?
Larger molecules move faster than lighter molecules. Temperature affects the molecular movement. Density is directly proportional to the molecular movement. Greater distance slows the diffusion.
Larger molecules move slower than lighter molecules. Increasing or decreasing temperature increases or decreases the energy in the medium, affecting molecular movement. Density is inversely proportional to molecular movement. Greater distance slows the diffusion.
Larger molecules move slower than lighter molecules. Temperature does not affect the rate of diffusion. Density is inversely proportional to molecular movement. Greater distance speeds up the diffusion.

Both of the regular intravenous solutions administered in medicine, normal saline and lactated Ringer’s solution, are isotonic, such as seen in the middle image here. Why is this important?
Isotonic solutions maintain equilibrium and avoid the exchange of materials to or from the blood.
Isotonic solutions disrupt equilibrium and allow better exchange of materials in the blood.
Isotonic solutions increase the pH of blood and allow better absorption of saline in blood.
Isotonic solutions decrease the pH of the blood and avoid the exchange of materials to or from the blood.
If a doctor injected a patient with what was labeled as an isotonic saline solution, but then the patient died, and an autopsy revealed that several of the patient's red blood cells had burst, such as in the image on the right, would it be true that the injected solution was really isotonic? Why or why not?
False, the solution was hypertonic.
False, the solution was osmotic.
False, the solution was hypotonic.
True, the solution was isotonic.
